SUMMARY:Inventing Green through Education
DESCRIPTION:This AACT Virtual Summer Sympossium focuses on how challenges from ocean plastics to global warming require innovative\, sustainable solutions. There is a demand for changing how we make our products\, and we must foster the next generation to create while thinking of degradation\, see the solutions within nature\, and not be afraid to fail when trying new ideas. In this session\, hear from students and educators on why it’s important to create a sustainable future and tackle the world’s biggest societal challenges through chemical science and invention. \nThis Virtual Summer symposium will have several speakers who will each present a talk on the topic of simulations to enhance chemical instruction. Each speaker will have 20 minutes to talk and answer questions. There will be a short break halfway through the symposium. The speakers and schedule are shown below: \n\n12:00 pm – Opening Remarks and Instructions\n12:05 pm – Janie Butler\, “Inventing Green Bioplastics”\n12:25 – Madison Morin\, “Advocating for Invention Education”\n12:45 pm – Emma Corcoran\, and Jane Wissenger\, Seaweed-based Edible Liquid Capsules: Green” Innovations for Single-Use Plastics\n1:05 pm – Brief Closing Remarks and Links\n\nOrganizer: Kate Anderson and Janie Butler\, Beyond Benign\nDate: Tuesday\, August 4\, 2020\, 12:00 pm ET \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:The Lead Teacher Program: Green Chemistry PLC
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Benign’s approach to bringing sustainability into chemistry education is through fostering a professional learning community (PLC) of educators who collaborate together and cultivate green chemistry resources. The Lead Teacher Program\, our K-12 PLC\, is designed to develop and support teachers to take a leadership role in advancing sustainable science education as teacher trainers and presenters. As a part of this three-year program\, participating teachers become ambassadors and experts in sustainable science and green chemistry. Ann Lambert\, a teacher and department head who completed the lead teacher program\, is a certified lead teacher and continues weave green chemistry education into her school. Her chemistry department at King Philip Regional High School in Wrentham\, MA has woven green chemistry education through a traditional\, standards-based curriculum. Students write a “green chemistry connection” as a component of each lab report\, and they also design and conduct their own\, student-driven experiments that incorporate green chemistry connections. The Lead Teacher program works to empower\, educate and equip educators to weave green chemistry into their teaching. \nFeatured Speaker: \nAnn Lambert \nChemistry Department Head and High School Chemistry Teacher\, King Phillip Regional High School \nCertified Lead Teacher\, Beyond Benign

SUMMARY:Green Chemistry Connections
DESCRIPTION:Join us to make Green Chemistry Connections \nBeyond Benign will be hosting a monthly Green Chemistry Connection around Green Chemistry education using the Green Chemistry Students Learning Objectives from the Green Chemistry Commitment program as a loose framework. The topics for discussion will be Green Chemistry theory\, toxicology\, laboratory skills and application of Green Chemistry education. Each time we meet\, we will host up to 4 speakers from the community who are actively practicing Green Chemistry in their courses and/or laboratories\, as well as give time for discussion in small groups along with networking and resource sharing. \nWe ask that you BYOR\, bring your own resource or request to the community – share a resource or put a request out to the group for resources you need. \nWe invite you to bring your departmental colleagues\, external collaborators\, graduate teaching assistants\, etc. to the discussion as we will be holding this space and time monthly for the community to come together around Green Chemistry education to advance the field together virtually! \nRegister now! \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nTo learn more about Green Chemistry Connections sponsorship opportunities click here.
